question
Hi, will this fit a 8 meade LX200 classic?
Thanks John for your question. This is tough. It's possible it would fit, however we designed this to specifically fit the the Celestron models. For safety, our position is that this filter should only be used on Celestron 8 SCT or EdgeHD telescopes. Have a great eclipse day and let us know if we can help with anything else.
